• Look for Online “Outlet Centers”: Often, these deep-discount “Web sites within a Web site” offer huge discounts on items that can only be purchased online. The number of online retailers using these centers is expected to increase this year. A survey1 from a leading digital retail organization found that 56.4 percent of consumers have used clearance sale sections while shopping for gifts.
• Leave the Credit Card in Your Pocket: Recent years have introduced a variety of payment options to pay for your online purchases. Choices like PayPal, Google Checkout and BillMeLater give you new options to pay or defer payments on merchandise.
• Take the Hassle Out of the Holidays: With high gas prices and the current economy hitting holiday budgets even harder, online shopping can save you valuable time and gas money by comparison shopping before you take that trip to the mall. And even better—some sites let you check in-store availability online before you go to the store.
